Axver said:Hey Ian. Woefully dead around these parts, it seems.
Axver said:Yeah, it's a riveting conversation topic, I assure you.
Did you see what happened in the cricket last night in the Kolkata vs Hyderabad (Deccan Chargers) game?
coolian2 said:
Was that the one with the dire pitch?
mysterious_jen said:im kinda here, but arent we all just having conversations with ourselves?
coolian2 said:Argh jesus. I don't gamble but i wish i'd followed the instinct i'd had earlier today and put a lazy $5 on the Canberra Raiders tonight. They were paying $4.10 to win and they're currently up 16-4 and putting shitloads of pressure on Melbourne.
Axver said:
Yes, and the one where ONE OF THE LIGHT TOWERS WENT OUT WITH 20 BALLS TO GO.

coolian2 said:
Oh my god, i'm going to have to find a video report of the match somewhere
mysterious_jen said:im kinda all about
but looking at my bank balance was a case of
OH SWEET MERCIFUL FUCKING HELL.
lucky pay day is tomorrow.
Axver said:
What the hell? A game on Monday?
Axver said:
The best part? If they had abandoned the game, it would have been tied based on Duckworth-Lewis. Luckily for Kolkata, the lights were fixed in time. So they interviewed Billy Bowden and asked him what would've done had the game been abandoned and the result a tie. His response was "ooh, we would've had a bowl-out!" with this look on his face like the idea really excited him and he wished the light tower hadn't been fixed!
It was absolutely the perfect game for Bowden to umpire. It was so bloody comical.
coolian2 said:
Yep. They've only been doing it since the start of last year
Axver said:
Huh, weird. Perhaps not quite as weird as the NPC playing games on Thursday, but still weird.
In my mind, you only play sport on Friday nights, Saturdays, Sundays, and maybe some public holidays. Unless the sport in question is cricket, of course.
coolian2 said:
Oh fuck that was funny, i just saw a fair bit of it
coolian2 said:Oh, and the orange hat for the leading run scorer, how only-in-India gimmicky!
mysterious_jen said:i am in a permanent state of debt for u2.
but i reaaaaaalllly am freaking out . then again could be because i decided to stop smoking and drinking today .
coolian2 said:
No, the NPC doing that was just fucking stupid. At least Monday Night Football has been done in the past in league and is actually a TV ratings and generally speaking crowds success.
